THE HIT MEN
The Hit Men: Former stars of Frankie Valli
& The Four Seasons, Tommy James & The
Shondells and other megastars acts!
The 60s, 70s and 80s were a golden era
for songwriting and during that period
acts like Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons,
Tommy James and The Shondells, and
other big name chart-busting groups
created beloved
hits that have
been heard for
generations and are
woven into America’s
consciousness.
Now, after decades
behind the scenes,
some of the greatest
artists who were
instrumental in the
success of these
fabulous groups and
their hit songs have reunited to form THE
HIT MEN. Not Broadway actors or a tribute
band, these guys are the real performers
who traveled all over the world, creating
music and memories – from Madison
Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall and
the Hollywood Bowl to the Sydney Opera
House and the London Palladium.
A group of amazing performers, superb
musicians, superior vocalists, great
arrangers and creative composers, THE
HIT MEN are hitmakers of the 60s, 70s and
80s – including performing and recording
members of mega-star acts like Frankie
Valli and The Four Seasons, Tommy James
and the Shondells, The Critters, and bandmates who played and performed with Jim
Croce, Cat Stevens, Carly Simon and more.
On the road touring as THE HIT MEN,
this brotherhood of musicians relive the
magic they created on world stages and
in recording studios years ago, bringing
audiences a night of
mega-hit after megahit, after mega-hit –
including everyone’s
favorite Four Seasons
songs like “Oh What
a Night,” “Who Loves
You,” “Marianne,”
“Silence is Golden,”
“Big Girls Don’t Cry,”
“Rag Doll” and more
great tunes made
even more famous
by Broadway’s Jersey Boys. And they also
perform many other memorable solid
gold hits that they helped make famous
– including “Mony, Mony,” “Hanky Panky,”
“Peace Train,” “Bad, Bad Leroy Brown,”
“You’re So Vain,” “You Belong To Me,” and
“Younger Girl.”
During their performance, THE HIT MEN
also share great back stories and anecdotes
from their days in recording studios and
on the concert circuit; it’s a great look back
through rock & roll history from the guys
who lived and breathed the experience.

For more than 30 years, Cedarburg families
dreamed of a suitable performance space
for their children attending the Cedarburg
schools. Their enduring vision, along with
their generous support, ultimately led to
an approval by school district residents to
build a dedicated facility on the grounds
of Cedarburg High School. In 1999, their
efforts were realized when the Cedarburg
Performing Arts Center opened its doors.
While the facility was designed to provide
exciting learning and performance
opportunities for our students, community
residents also were promised a magnificent
venue beyond school presentations.
With this in mind, several community
leaders came together with the intent of
creating a vehicle – Cedarburg PAC, Inc. –
to produce the Visiting Artists Series. They
believed such a series would showcase
Cedarburg on the world’s stage. And they
worked tirelessly to make this concept
a reality. Those founding sponsors and
our other long-time supporters made it
an incredible journey... one that always
reflected the organization’s mission of
“supporting and sustaining a professionally
managed environment which presents
programming to Enlighten, Educate and
Entertain our greater community.”
During the past fifteen years, Cedarburg
PAC has been host to a large slice of
American performing arts history
showcasing some of the biggest names in
the entertainment industry: Bob Newhart,
Doc Severinsen, The Smothers Brothers,
The Crickets, Janis Ian, Judy Collins, Hal
Holbrook, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Don
McLean, Chris Botti, Kathy Mattea, Nitty
Gritty Dirt Band, The Osmond Brothers,
Rich Little, The Lettermen, Cherish the
Ladies and many others. These artists
come to us with varied backgrounds,
perspectives, opinions, and performance
styles. They give us exposure to their lives
and experiences, and expand our base of
knowledge regarding a part of America’s
cultural history that has helped to shape
our country.
Cedarburg PAC, Inc. has worked with
Cedarburg School District teachers and
staff members to ensure that students
play an integral role in our Visiting Artists
Series. Master classes with renowned
artists, open sound checks, Q&A sessions,
as well as opportunities to work along
side the performers themselves, are part
of our commitment to provide valuable
educational interactions for students.
A continuing source of pride has been
the many students who have gone on to
successful careers in the arts industry.
From its inception, the partnership
between the Cedarburg School District and
Cedarburg PAC, Inc. has been a wonderful
example of public and private entities
working together to benefit community
residents and visitors. We are proud
partners in this endeavor! Thank you all for
being part of our amazing journey. We look
forward to seeing you during our exciting
2014-2015 season of arts and education at
the Cedarburg PAC.

E N G AG I N G YO U T H I N T H E P E R F O R M I N G A R T S
In keeping with the Visiting Artists Series’ mission, students (and the
community-at-large) had opportunities last season to learn about the
performing arts and to hone their own talents!
Broadway singer/actor, Franc
D’Ambrosio (known as the longest
running Phantom in Andrew Lloyd
Webber’s Phantom of the Opera)
amplified his performance at the
Cedarburg PAC by bringing two
young singers from the community
on stage with him. He conducted
an open audition and master class
the day prior to his performance to
choose people to sing the parts of
Christine and Raoul in his Phantom
of the Opera set.
Wisconsin’s favorite funnyman, John McGivern, conducted
an Actor’s Workshop for about 30 high school drama
students. Attendees had the opportunity to learn about
the professional experience of a comedic actor and enjoy
a few laughs. McGivern also distributed portions of scripts
from his past performances and gave some students
the opportunity to read for the entire group and receive
coaching, as well as compliments on their readings.
